Sherlock Holmes

Chapter 260 Social Obligations, and Imprisonment

Sherlock didn't come out, but opened the door casually.

Instead, Moriarty walked in. He sat down on the chair angrily and looked at Mrs. Hudson and Watson in the room. In fact, he thought that they had been together like this a long time ago, but at that time, They were just the simplest friends, but at this moment, everything seemed different.

Moriarty did not have time to recall those innocent times that did not include rights or positions. It is obvious that he is busy at this time, but after hearing the message from Irene, he resolutely said in a meeting He left the table, then forcibly recruited a high-speed airship from another administrative district, and landed abruptly among the buildings in the urban area. This was enough to show that he valued Sherlock.

In other words, nervous.

Of course, no matter what emotion it is, there must be anger in it! So he sat at the table full of anger, then glared at Sherlock and said in a deep voice:

"sorry!"

Um. Well, His Royal Highness the Holy Son apologized. Although the tone of the apology was still the same condescending attitude, it was due to his character. Anyway, he finally apologized to Sherlock.

"This matter is indeed different from what was agreed in advance, but I had to do it, and you also know that the large-scale strike at that time had lasted for several days. I did not take the time to inform you in advance, because if If we can end the riot even a few minutes early, it will reduce a lot of losses for the empire. This is the most correct approach, and you should also understand what I am doing, you are not a fool!"

Moriarty has been extremely tired these days. In order to prepare for the coronation ceremony in the next few days, as well as the affairs of the diocese caused by the new king's ascension in the past few days, he has not slept for several days in a row.

So Sherlock looked at his increasingly weak body and waved his hand comfortingly: "Okay, okay, there's no need to explain so much. I don't blame you. It's just that we have different priorities."

"different?"

"That's right. You are the majestic Holy Son, so you will naturally look at the entire empire. But I am just a detective. I only want to care about my case."

"Do you know what you are talking about?" Moriarty said, trying hard to suppress his voice: "Do you know what time it is now?

It is the time when the kings of mankind change.

The old guy's declaration can minimize the side effects of this link!

Humanity has the opportunity to retake the world. At this time, the old emperor voluntarily abdicated and has received the highest respect from the people of the entire empire for decades. And you are going to kill him at this time? To turn this human hero into a conspirator?

No one would want you to do such a thing! "

"What does it mean to 'become' a conspirator? Moreover, how do you know that no one will be willing?" Sherlock ignored the other party's anger. Instead, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to the other party: "You didn't see the recent parade. Well. Ever since Emperor Augustine announced his abdication, there are still people on the street holding signs and shouting.

Those people were the families of those who died in the London airship crash.

The signs they held had titles like murderer and deception. There was a group of people on the street yesterday, and the loudest one among them was probably a teenage girl.

If I had told her that I was going to bring your father's killer to justice, she would have cried, hugged me, and kissed me. "

"I knew you would say this!" Moriarty ignored the cup of tea and still said in a stern tone: "I understand the sadness of those who died, but they are only a few people. Twenty or thirty thousand people can't do it at all. As a representative of a race, if you destroy the current good situation for these people, what is the difference between you and those selfish people?"

"It makes no difference, but I have never said that I am a person with a great sense of social responsibility. Again, I am just a little detective.

I am not carried away by anger or professional ethics.

I was calm and knew exactly what I was doing.

But it's you. Have you forgotten what you once said? "

Sherlock looked calmly at His Royal Highness the Holy Son in front of him, and said slowly:

"Half a year ago, when I first learned that you were the Holy Son of the Holy See, you also talked to me. You said that human beings have hierarchies. People at higher levels have more power, but they also have more obligations. You have always Use this to push yourself.

But what if it's the other way around?

People at the bottom have little power, so what are our obligations?

Do we also need to worry about the country and the people and regard future prosperity as our own responsibility?

Before we satisfy our own wishes, before we have the ability to support ourselves, and before we get the life we ​​want, should we first consider whether humans can conquer the stars and the sea, consider the interests of the race, and the gains and losses of the world?

Do civilians also need to have a great and long-term vision like you?

Do you allow it?

There is always someone to move things in the factory, someone to cultivate the fields, and someone to do the work that makes you dizzy with steam in the factory.

As for those who do these things, as long as they can do the things in front of them well, they will be very good. This is the division of labor in society. These people only have a very narrow understanding of society, and their understanding of the truth is all through newspapers and newspapers. Propaganda, listen to what you let people hear, watch what you let people see, even when society needs them to die, these people should die. This is what you call human society.

In this case, shouldn't the so-called race, future, social progress, and structural stability be things that only you can consider and are qualified to consider?

I am also a civilian. To this day, I do not own a house or a regular job. I just arrest a few prisoners every now and then to make a living. The first time I got involved in this matter was because of the murder of Professor Darwin, but If you hadn't come to me about this case, I wouldn't have the right to know about it.

Therefore, this society is unfair. Since it is unfair, then of course I have reason to be selfish. Before I contribute to the beauty of the world, I must first ensure that I am in a good mood.

As for what you said, I understand that what you said is correct and you hold the greatest truth. I have never denied your remarks.

But now, I want to emphasize for the third time that I am just a detective, and I just want to take care of my case. Those principles of social stability you mentioned are not my obligations, so in your opinion, I should do what I should do for society. The moment I made the sacrifice, I had no reason to sacrifice for this society. "

When Shylock said these words, he was extremely calm, because he did not need to be excited or shouting. Society and people have always had this relationship. Big people must behave like big people, and small people must naturally behave like small people.

Moriarty listened to Sherlock's words. He became more and more silent, but his expression became more and more solemn. Finally, he finally said: "You can't do it. Even if Augustine is no longer the emperor, you will never do it." It's possible to kill him, let alone make him confess. You can't even get close to him and say a word to him."

“Always try.”

"Are you crazy?!"

"Have you forgotten? You wanted to kill him in the beginning. If I'm crazy, then you are crazy too. People always have to try things they can't accomplish, otherwise what's the point of life?"

Moriarty said nothing more. He took a deep breath, almost exploding his lungs. He knew that there was no way he could convince the guy in front of him.

So after a few seconds, he breathed out all his breath heavily, then looked at Sherlock solemnly, and spoke softly:

"Molan!"

"I'm here, Master," the maid standing nearby responded respectfully.

"Go ahead. From this moment on, the entire Baker Street will enter the highest level of lockdown. The nearest military defense forces will be mobilized. All exits will be fenced. Patrols will be conducted 24 hours a day. Priests from the Judgment Department will be dispatched to station. All idle areas in the surrounding city will be closed. Get me as many demon sedatives as you can get from the quota, and send 8 third-level contractors to London as quickly as possible, use the Holy See’s transportation route to get their contracted demons over, and let me keep an eye on the outside. The surrounding people collectively Evacuate and imprison the target [Sherlock Holmes], and do not allow him to step out of this street!"
